Abstract
A composition of the present disclosure includes an aqueous dispersion of epoxy resin particles. The epoxy resin particles include at least two 1,2-epoxide groups. The composition further includes one or more anti-adhesive agents, one or more anti-microbial agents, or a combination of one or more anti-adhesive agents and one or more anti-microbial agents.
Claims31
A composition, comprising an aqueous dispersion of epoxy resin particles having at least two 1,2-epoxide groups, and one or more anti-adhesive agents, wherein:
- the one or more anti-adhesive agents comprises an ethoxy-functional silicone emulsion, composed of octyl tri-ethoxy silane, included at 60% by volume, on the basis of the aqueous dispersion of epoxy resin particles, in order to generate an anti-adhesive coating, capable of being sprayed onto metal substrates, such that an adhesion of a section transfer medium to metal surfaces is prevented.
A system for histology, comprising:
- a microtome holding assembly comprising a microtome configured to section a tissue block comprising a tissue sample embedded in an embedding material;
- a transfer system configured to transfer one or more tissue sections from the microtome to one or more slides, wherein the transfer system passes over one or more surfaces;
- and
- a composition deposited on the microtome holding assembly to prevent adhesion of the embedding material to the microtome holding assembly or deposited on the one or more surfaces to prevent adhesion of the transfer system to the one or more surfaces, wherein the composition comprises an aqueous dispersion of epoxy resin particles having at least two 1,2-epoxide groups, and one or more anti-adhesive agents.
